Fear the Spotlight

Slightly spoilery impressions on the first Blumhouse game


During my summer holidays I dusted off my Nintendo Switch after several months, if not years, of inactivity - mainly to pass the time during long train journeys.
I still like video games (I feel extremely old just using this definition - are they still called that way?), but they don’t relax me in the way I need to de-stress between a long day of work and a reasonably early bed.

Weekly visions - week 48, 2024

These weekly visions are brought to you in part by Asmodeus the demon

The poster for **Scott Beck** and **Bryan Woods**' film *Heretic*
It is the season to be jolly, so of course I am not watching any Christmas films and devoting myself more and more to the usual horror schedule.

Weekly visions - week 47, 2024

A rather begrudging week…

The poster for Takashi Shimizu's original *Ju-on*
Once again, not a lot to discuss about the past week - a couple of quick drink with friends, which still left me time to watch a few films (some of which were exceptionally short).

Where I start watching yet another J-Horror series of films

The poster for Guillermo del Toro's 2001 film *The Devil's Backbone*
Once again I’m very late with this round-up of last week’s films, but, in my defence, I’ve dedicated more time to writing this week - just not for this post. Anyway, let’s move on to my weekly visions.

Less than a month ago I lamented the demise of the printed version of the British film magazine Total Film.
Today, I heard the news that one of the better-known Italian movie websites, Badtaste.it, has stopped updating just after reaching twenty years of activity.

Vsi Proti Vsem - All Against All

My entry for November’s IndieWeb Movie Club

The poster for Andrej Košak's film *Vsi Proti Vsem* (*All Against All*)
I appreciate Sara’s purposeful choice of a Slovenian film for this round of the IndieWeb Movie Club. I think that’s part of the endeavour’s spirit; alternate internationally well-known crowdpleasers with smaller, nationally relevant stories.
I also appreciate Sara put into choosing a film that is reasonably available to watch outside from outside her country.
If I look at the statistics for films I’ve seen, there was absolutely no movie from Slovenia, so this was a great opportunity to take a peek into a country that’s the only Italian neighbour I haven’t visited yet.
